Today February first and yesterday was a model contest in my city and here is this model along with his Bronze medal, and my other models the little green alien girl Bronze medal, the blue corvette also Bronze medal, the Corvette pacer that got a Honorific mention and the pacer X didn’t get anything…

Greetings, here is my most recent finish model: The Knight Rider (Pontiac firebird 1982) the MPC round2 reissue… Sensei kamikaze version… is TV accurate? Well no, is the closest ting you can achieve with this kit. The front and the back where sanded down and transform to be more like the car on the TV show, beside that is out of the box, the body was painted with two coats of Tamiya TS-14 black and three coats of TS-13, the rest is mix of Tamiya, Vallejo and Humbrol.

Saludos a todos, here is my most recent finished model, little to say straight of the box the body color is Tamiya cans, a base of TS 44 brilliant blue, then a coat of TS 50 mica blue followed by 4 coats of clear TS13.

Some photoected details where added logos mostly and I know the side logos where not present in the real car, but I just could not resist to put them in, also the antenna is leaned, some error that ended looking nice.

Hope you like it, and comment.

The Picture of errors, in this particular photo you can see everything what I did wrong with this model…

My classic model card for my archives

Super shine as a mirror… almost

The red and amber lights are Tamiya clear applied with a toothpick over the silver paint

A little blue filter on one of the photography lights makes some nice blue reflections

The rims are painted with alclad II candy silver base they look fantastic

Some little extra detail on the engine

Flocked interior… you can see a minor error over the fire wall, but I believe that it was supposed to be more far away and it will not be visible… but it seems that I was wrong

The glamour shot… a little bit over exposed for a more dramatic look

The under side, a little rust, fitting that exhaust in place required some minor changes to be installed, here the instructions are very wrong

this was very simple I sand away the handle and the key hole, then before the paint process I drill small holes for them, then after all the paint is done, I shape the needle around my long nose pliers, then just cut and insert them in place the are keep in place by pressure no glue has been use.
